Windows 10: WiFi Network Has X Next To It

Hello, I hope all is well. For some reason my main network at home is showing up as an X on my computer. I was wondering if someone could help me. I've attached a screenshot of what the X looks like below although on my computer only my main network has an X on it and the rest are fine and I'm able to connect to. and once I click "Connect" it says "Some information changed since the last time you connected. We need additional information to complete the connection."




I've made sure all the drivers are updated as well as rebooted my computer and reinstalled drivers multiple times. Can anyone please help? I can connect to the network from other devices so I'm sure it's something up with my windows laptop.



Thanks!

:)

 

White x beside wifi network!

Hi Karl,

The white x on top of Wireless symbol might mean that, there is a password change or some setting change to the wireless network.

To resolve this white x mark, follow the below steps to "Forget the network" and re-connect to the wireless network.

1. Select the wireless network icon > Wireless & Network settings

2. From the list in the left, select "Wi-Fi"

3. Select "Manage known networks"

4. Search and select the network that is causing issue > Select "Forget"

5. Now, select the wireless icon again and re-connect to the network.

Note: After Step 4, you won't find the x mark on top of the specific wireless network.

Voilaa

Follow:
